Format Book:  Summary:  As a young anthropologist, Kulick went to the tiny village of Gapun in New Guinea to document the death of the native language, Tayap. He arrived knowing that you can't study a language without understanding the daily lives of the people who speak it: how they talk to their children, how they argue, how they gossip, how they joke. Over the course of thirty years, he returned again and again to document Tayap before it disappeared entirely. Here he takes us inside the difficult-to-get-to village of two hundred people in the middle of a tropical rainforest. In doing so he looks at the impact of Western culture on the farthest reaches of the globe. -- adapted from jacket No. of Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Marion Public Library Top Floor 305.800995 KUL Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
